Flower Bouquet Recipe : Cut Flower Harvest & Wrapped Bouquets with Sunflowers for the Farmers Market

It's another farmer's market day! This week I share what I am harvesting along with my "recipe" for my bouquets - using a market bouquet recipe helps speed up the bouquet making process for me. Less thinking as I make them!!! And this week my recipe includes procut sunflowers!

I am a fan! Your videos are thorough and very informative. I was fascinated. Don't stop - keep up the good work.

[@SunshineFlora]

Well thank you!

[@riverunner9978]

Beautiful ! Great content ! Thank you !

[@SunshineFlora]

Thank you and you're welcome!

[@hongseahout202]

I love this so much

[@SunshineFlora]

Thanks! Another new video will be up tomorrow!

[@victoriaschwaegler8751]

Don’t worry about the greenery. Your bouquet is FULL of flowers. That’s what I want to buy. I can pick my choice of greenery, if I want to ‘fill’ out my vase, from my yard or even the roadside . It amazes me how much you do in such limited space. You are rockin’ it!

[@SunshineFlora]

Thank you Victoria! I have some greenery fillers that I wanted to try. My cress needed netting, try again next year. I have some darn opal basil that is ready that I will be adding next week! Stay tuned!

[@angelicasharp2380]

You are my style flower farmer, which is rare! Lol 😂 The variety of many flowers and not just a lot of filler and how you have super warm rich colors, not just blushes (no offense to anyone) . 👏👏👏 I know your style will evolve over time but I really love how you are doing things currently! 🥰

[@SunshineFlora]

Thank you!!!!!

[@gardeneroncarriagehill]

Of all things to not sell…a sunflower bouquet! Crazy people it was gorgeous. 🌻🌻🌻

[@SunshineFlora]

I know!!!

[@marthaneudorf1899]

I'm a home gardener with a cut flower garden. I have found your videos so helpful. Thank you.

[@SunshineFlora]

Thank you! Happy growing!

[@lorrainecourtney4589]

Never saw gomphrena in orange, love it 😁 thanks for sharing, again !!! 😉

[@SunshineFlora]

The orange was my earliest ready! Will be fun for fall

[@alisonburgess345]

Great video - I'm finally getting going with my flower farm after delay after delay because of covid. Great result at the market! Thank you for all your valuable demos.. 🌻🌻💐

[@SunshineFlora]

You’re welcome!

[@peterwhite9261]

Those are beautiful. You have an incredible green thumb and flower bouquets designer and creater.

[@kchance76]

Soo pretty. Will have to catch a bouquet for my better half before school starts if possible.

[@SunshineFlora]

👍👍

[@flowersinvietnam1349]

hello you so many beautiful flowers

[@SunshineFlora]

Thank you!

[@arlenebrant5785]

Thank you for this video. It is very helpful. The idea of a bouquet recipe is genius. It really simplifies the process. I am looking forward to the bouquet wrapping video coming soon.

[@SunshineFlora]

Thank you! Stay tuned for more! 😊😊

[@ambergreen5531]

Very nice bouquets this week! I’m exited to see how the Cress looks in the future bouquets.

[@SunshineFlora]

Well it didn’t straighten up so I ended up ripping it out! 😥 I will try it again next year and net it!

[@ambergreen5531]

@@SunshineFlora Oh that is such a bummer! I have a love hate relationship with nets.

[@SunshineFlora]

@@ambergreen5531 same! Guess I will try again next year! It’s a learning experience!!

[@jaimemorgan5323]

@@SunshineFlora Mine was netted last season, and still went over in a windstorm and became a tangled mess. This season I'm thinking of planting against a sunny wall, and using reinforcing mesh instead of plastic netting - à la @swancottageflowers :)

[@SunshineFlora]

@@jaimemorgan5323 good to know!!! Thanks!!

[@lavinapoppleton1396]

I thoroughly enjoy your videos. You have inspired me to grow zinnias again, aren’t they just such happy flowers?

[@SunshineFlora]

Thank you! And yes they are!!!

[@kellythompson2267]

Do you try to have different recipes from one Farmers Market to next? Great video! 🌻

[@SunshineFlora]

If I have a lot of the same flowers - yes! It’s fun to offer a couple recipes. I feel like it simplifies the process

[@tammywellsgarcia2377]

Add more greenery as filler, please. Makes them more appealing to the eye😊 JMO

[@gardengirl7446]

LOVE 🧡 you and your videos! I always learn from you. The ruby parfait celosia is a great find! Keep making harvest, bouquet making and market videos PLEASE. I can't get too much of them! 🌼 Linda in 🇨🇦 canada

[@SunshineFlora]

Thank you and don’t worry - lots of videos coming!

[@tawanajeffries3610]

Love this week’s bouquets 💐. With this recipe what price point would you set for these? Do you do other price points for different style and recipe bouquets? I’m trying to figure out what price points are the most requested. Thanks

[@SunshineFlora]

So the mixed bouquets that I do are $15. Bigger ones $20. Sunflowers are $20. All snap bouquets are $10 - those are only 8 stems

[@kellymcfadden7514]

Beautiful! I love videos like this! Where do you sell your flowers? I love those light colored sunflowers!

[@SunshineFlora]

Thank you! I currently sell at 2 local farmers markets and do custom orders

[@tinalee7650]

I don't see the black buckets that you take to the market - can you let me know where you get them? Great video - thanks!

[@SunshineFlora]

They are in the Johnny’s seeds website. I use the 10 inch I think?

[@kristinep9023]

Love your bouquets. Can you suggest a place to purchase the black flower buckets? Thank you!

[@SunshineFlora]

I get mine from Johnny’s

[@wordvendor1]

Thanks for the video! That small patch of Gomphrena, how many plants would you say you had in there? It looked like a ton! It's kind of confusing cuz you don't really know unless you've grown something how much you should plant.

[@SunshineFlora]

Only 12!

[@wordvendor1]

@@SunshineFlora wow!!!

[@faithfamilyhomestead]

Do you have to chill snap dragons before putting them in a bouquet?

[@SunshineFlora]

I do if I pick them a day or two before. If they are picked early that morning, no

[@faithfamilyhomestead]

Thank you!

[@karenlopez5441]

I really enjoyed your video! I’m doing my first market next weekend. Will sunflowers stay refrigerated for 6 days? I’ve got some cracking open I want to save for the marhet. (It’s just a home refrigerator, I’m small scale)

[@SunshineFlora]

They should if they are just showing color - I’ve had some in the fridge for 4 days.

[@karenlopez5441]

@@SunshineFlora thanks! I’ll see how they do

[@conniebrisendine3469]

You should look up Cool Bot on the internet. It’s a way to take a air conditioner and make a cooler. It’s under 500.00. So cool. If you need one lol

[@SunshineFlora]

@@conniebrisendine3469 I may have to look into that for one of my rooms! Thanks!

[@kathrynhutten5055]

What temperature do you keep your fridge at for your snaps? Mine are rxploding now and idk what to do eith them all haha

[@SunshineFlora]

Usually 38 or so

[@kristincochran4658]

How much do you price thses bouquets at?
